I am having to redo my Jedi Costume, and I am thinking of either a Healer style or maybe historian style. However, I am terrible at finding the information for these, and the right material for the costume. What would you suggest, and maybe there should be a list of what was used so others can branch off of that.
By historian, do you mean Jocasta Nu?
If so, I believe I was the first to make the costume. I have a tutorial. What we've learned since the FIDM exhibit is the markings on her tabbards and obi are embroidered.
In a sense, but something that is more common for a man to wear. But in the same sense. Might be a varient off of hers with a few similarities.

Nice to see you Tia Lin. I have been a member for some time just never got around to posting. But as far as healing powers go, it is not my stong point.

Seever: it would make sense to do the tabbards and obi with the patterns but just wear trousers instead of a skirt. You could vary the colors. Dark tunic with light colored pattern lines.

I agree with you Jedi Kia. I would only make sense. But can't you make it with a skirt. Or does it depend on the design of the tabbards? Who can heal a emotional wound?

I'm going for a more "battlefield" medic/healer look, as opposed to one who might work in the Jedi Medical Corp back on Coruscant. Definetly less "traditional" jedi, and much more practical (no tabbard, double belt, long sleeves or excess of pouches). A much more practical garb for field work.
Kate, what did you have in mind for your costume?
I would think a battlefield healer wouldn't want those hanging loose sleeves... perhaps full sleeves that are tight at the wrists...
I know I'm coming late to this discussion, but a healer costume interests me... anyone have new pictures in the last few months?

I've just finished my Jedi Healer costume for Dragon*Con. I've taken the one sentence in the Jedi Apprentice and made standard Jedi tunics in light blue. No photos yet.
re: Battlefield Jedi Healer...there are book cover images of Barriss in her jumpsuit which is what she seems to have worn as a battlefield medic.

I'm reading that book now actually, and met the artist at CIV. 200 pages into and I haven't gotten to any battle scene yet where she is wearing said ensemble. So far she is wearing her standard cloak and skirt......well and that one scene where she is doing "yoga" naked
But if I run across any details of that I will let you know....there is a second book also in the series.
And if anyone is interested in doing Jedi healer/medic/etc, I would recommend the Medstar series, its well written and a good read!

The Hamilton County Board of Elections remains split on whether to move its offices and early voting from downtown to Mount Airy. The two Democrats on the board oppose the move because it could make voting more difficult for Over-the-Rhine and downtown residents. The two Republicans on the board support the plan because it will consolidate operations with the county, which plans to move the county crime lab to the Mount Airy site, and add free parking. If the board remains split, Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted will break the tie.
Councilman Charlie Winburn shelved his idea to sell the city-owned
Southern Railway to help shore up Cincinnati's underfunded pension
system. It's unlikely the idea would have made it through City Council
or Mayor John Cranley. The proposal seemed a bit hypocritical coming
from Winburn, who criticized the previous city administration for
attempting to sell off or lease long-term revenue sources, such as the
city's parking system, for lump sums. Still, the pension issue remains a major concern for local officials; Winburn asked council members to help find a solution to the problem this year.
The Ohio Department of Health ordered a Cincinnati-area abortion clinic to close after it failed to reach a patient transfer agreement with a local hospital, as required by law. The clinic, located in Sharonville, plans to appeal the ruling. The facility has failed to establish a patient transfer agreement since 2010, but previous Democratic administrations exempted the clinic from the regulations. At the current rate of closures, Ohio could soon fall below 10 available abortion clinics for the first time in decades. For several clinics, part of the issue stems from anti-abortion restrictions in the 2014-2015 state budget approved by Gov. John Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the Ohio legislature.
Council last week approved form-based code for a third neighborhood, Walnut Hills. The regulation allows neighborhoods to bring in new development while hopefully keeping the historic charm and character of the city.
The Cincinnati Bengals asked Hamilton County to hand over sole ownership of naming rights for Paul Brown Stadium, but county commissioners don't seem keen on the idea.
Over-the-Rhine residents have mobilized to save two old buildings that the Freestore Foodbank originally planned to tear down. Ryan Messer, who is leading the charge to save the buildings, said on Facebook today that the Freestore Foodbank agreed to hold off on the demolitions while both parties meet with residents willing to buy and renovate the buildings.
Federal authorities questioned an Ohio man wearing Google Glass at a movie theater over fears he was attempting to record the film. No action was taken after the man confirmed the Google Glass is also a pair of prescription glasses and the recording function was turned off.

Mayor John Cranley told CityBeat Friday that he's still troubled by the practice of "double dipping," but he said the incoming assistant city manager is only eligible to receive a salary and pension benefits because of policy set by City Council.
Bill Moller will be rehired by the city in February to fill in as assistant city manager. Because Moller is a city retiree, he'll be eligible to draw a city salary ($147,000 a year) and pension benefits.
The concern: Allowing city workers to double dip, or tap into both a
salary and pension benefits, could encourage the kinds of abuse
already seen in other municipalities, where public workers can reach eligibility for
maximum pension benefits, retire one day and get rehired the next day to effectively receive both a salary and pension.
On the campaign trail, Cranley called double dipping "abusive" after City Council repealed a ban on the practice so the administration could hire John Deatrick, a city retiree, to lead the $132.8 million streetcar project.
Cranley said he will sign any legislation reinstating the ban on double dipping. As a council member, Cranley supported the ban when it was originally instated in 2008.
Under the previous ban, city retirees rejoining the administration would need to temporarily forfeit pension benefits or face substantial limits on salaries and health benefits.
Despite his opposition to double dipping, Cranley cautioned that he still supports Moller's hire.
"Obviously I like Bill Moller," he said. "But the city manager is working within current policy."
The city administration on Tuesday justified Moller's hire by pointing to his previous budget and finance experience in Cincinnati, Hamilton and Covington.
"At this point in time, Cincinnati needs not only someone
who is proficient in all aspects of municipal finance, but in the
aspects of the city of Cincinnati's finances in particular. Mr. Moller
has that experience," wrote Interim City Manager Scott Stiles in a memo.
It remains unclear whether a ban on double dipping would influence Moller's decision to return to the city administration.
Ohio now bans abusive dog breeding practices that previously earned the state a reputation as one of the laxest for dog breeding rules in the nation. With the new rules, dog breeders must maintain improved living conditions for the dogs, including standards for cage size, regular grooming, veterinary examinations and socialization. The rules earned praise from many animal activists as a step forward, but some say the bill should act as a start that leads to even stronger regulations.
City Council advanced a largely progressive agenda that moves forward with initiatives aimed at job training, homelessness and inclusion. Specifically, the Democratic majority on council acted as the foundation in keeping controversial contracting rules for sewer contracts, continuing support for a permanent supportive housing facility in Avondale and approving a new study that will look into potential race- and gender-based disparities in how the city awards business contracts. With the Democratic coalition seemingly established on most issues facing the city, it's now much clearer what direction council will take the city over the next four years.
Hamilton County commissioners yesterday proposed a compromise with the city over controversial contracting rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and Greater Cincinnati Water Works projects. Although both sides agree the issue must be resolved soon to avoid a costly legal battle and allow MSD to carry on with work on a federally mandated overhaul of the local sewer system, the Democratic-controlled city and Republican-controlled county have failed to reach a resolution. Since the county put MSD projects on hold in protest of the city's rules, $152 million worth of sewer projects and 649 potential jobs have been put on hold, according to data from Councilman Charlie Winburn, a Republican who opposes the rules.
Councilmen P.G. Sittenfeld and Chris Seelbach questioned whether recent personnel changes at City Hall violated the city charter. The concern is whether Mayor John Cranley pushed Interim City Manager Scott Stiles to move John Curp from his previous role as city solicitor to chief counsel of the city's utilities. Sittenfeld and Seelbach noted the charter prevents the mayor and council members from interfering with personnel decisions. But Stiles declined to answer and sidestepped Seelbach and Sittenfeld's questions.

The agenda defined City Council's first meeting of the new year — the first full session since council decided to continue work on Cincinnati's $132.8 million streetcar project.
The meeting also showed that the Democratic majority — once fractured over the streetcar project and parking privatization plan — now appears to have formed a coalition on most issues facing the city. Perhaps more than anything, that could indicate the direction of Cincinnati for the next four years.
Responsible bidder
Most contentiously, the Democratic majority on City Council rejected a repeal of the city's contracting rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) projects.
The rules dictate how the city and county will award contracts for the federally mandated $3.2 billion revamp of the local sewer system.
The city's rules impose stricter job training requirements on city contractors and require them to fund pre-apprenticeship programs that would help train new workers in different crafts.
Councilman Chris Seelbach, a Democrat who spearheaded the rules, argues the requirements will help foster local jobs and job training.
But the Republican-controlled county government, which also manages MSD and GCWW, says the requirements unfairly burden contractors and favor unions. Last year, county commissioners halted MSD's work on the sewer overhaul in protest of the city's rules.
The county's halt has put 649 jobs and $152 million worth of sewer projects on hold, according to data released by Councilman Charlie Winburn, a Republican who opposes the city's rules.
With the federal mandate looming, county commissioners on Wednesday unanimously proposed a compromise that would create some job training and inclusion initiatives.
"We are approaching a crisis here in this dispute with the city," said Commissioner Greg Hartmann, a Republican who opposes the city's rules.
Vice Mayor David Mann, a Democrat, said he will look at the county's proposal. But he cautioned, "I'm not going to repeal it until we have a substitute. To have a substitute we have to have conversations. This could be the beginning of a framework."
The issue could end up in court. The city's lawyers previously claimed they could defend the local contracting rules, but the county insists the city would lose.
"Portions of what the city wants will not stand in court. Our lawyers should meet," Hartman told Seelbach on Twitter.
If the city and county don't act before February, Winburn said the
federal government could impose a daily $1,500 fine until MSD work fully
Supportive housing project in Avondale
A supermajority of council — the five Democrats plus Charterite Kevin Flynn — agreed to continue supporting state tax credits for Commons at Alaska, a 99-unit permanent supportive housing facility in Avondale.
Although several opponents of the Avondale facility claim
their opposition is not rooted in a not-in-my-backyard attitude, many
public speakers argued the housing facility will attract a dangerous
crowd that would worsen public safety in the neighborhood.
Supporters point to a study conducted for similar facilities in Columbus that found areas with permanent housing facilities saw the same or lower crime increases as demographically comparable areas.
Other opponents decried the lack of outreach for the project. They claim the project was kept hidden from residents for years.
National Church Residences (NCR), which is developing the facility, says it will engage in more outreach as the project moves forward.
Councilman Christopher Smitherman, an Independent, said council's decision ignores what most Avondale residents told him.
"The supermajority of residents that I have talked to that are directly impacted by this project are against it," asserted Smitherman, who is leading efforts against the facility in council.
Even if council decided to rescind its support for the Avondale project , it's unclear if it would have any effect. NCR already received state tax credits for the facility back in June.
Disparity study
City Council unanimously approved a study that will look into potential race- and gender-based disparities in how the city awards business contracts.
The $690,000 study is required by the courts before the city can pursue initiatives that favorably target minority- and women-owned businesses with city contracts, which Mayor John Cranley and most council members support.
But Flynn and Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, a Democrat, voiced
doubts that the study's findings will fulfill the legal requirements necessary to legally enact initiatives favoring minority- and women-owned businesses.
Given the doubts, Simpson cautioned that the city should begin moving forward with possible inclusion initiatives before the disparity study is complete.
"I do think we need to rally around a mantra that we can't wait," agreed Democratic Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld.
Once the study is complete, several council members said it will, at the very least, provide valuable data to the city.
Other notable actions
• Council approved a tax budget that lowered the property tax millage rate from 5.7 mills to 5.6 mills, which will cost $500,000 in annual revenue, according to city officials.
• Council approved an application for a $70,000 grant that would fund local intervention efforts meant to help struggling youth.
• Council approved an application for a nearly $6 million grant to provide tenant-based rental assistance to homeless, low-income clients with disabilities.
• Council disbanded the Streetcar Committee, which the
mayor and council originally established to look into halting the
project. Streetcar items will now be taken up by the Major Transportation and Regional Cooperation Committee.
Hamilton County commissioners on Wednesday unanimously approved a resolution that seeks a compromise over Cincinnati's controversial contracting rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects.
Both sides agree the issue must be resolved soon to avoid a costly legal battle and allow MSD to fully continue work on a federally mandated $3.2 billion revamp of the local sewer system. But so far the Democrat-controlled city and Republican-controlled county have failed to reach an agreement.
"We really are approaching a crisis here in this dispute with the city," said Commissioner Greg Hartmann, who proposed the resolution commissioners approved Wednesday.
The county's proposal creates aspirational inclusion goals and funding for local job training programs for MSD and Greater Cincinnati Water Works. The county estimates the resolution will cost $550,000-$700,000 a year.
But it remains unclear if the county's measures will satisfy a majority of City Council, which as of December supported its own set of contracting rules.
The city rules require contractors to follow stricter standards for apprenticeship programs, which unionized and nonunion businesses use to train workers in crafts, such as electrical work or plumbing. The rules also ask contractors to put 10 cents for each hour of labor into a pre-apprenticeship fund that will help train newcomers in different crafts.
With the county proposal approved, commissioners say it's up to the city to make the next move in the dispute.
The county's proposal:
The latest administrative shakeups at City Hall spurred
controversy after the city administration confirmed City Solicitor John
Curp will leave his current position and one of the new hires — Bill
Moller, a city retiree who will become assistant city manager — will be
able to "double dip" on his pension and salary ($147,000 a year). Councilman
P.G. Sittenfeld said on Twitter that City Council will discuss the personnel changes at today's council meeting. The hiring decisions are up to Interim City Manager
Scott Stiles, but some council members say they should be more closely
informed and involved. (This paragraph was updated after council members called off the special session.)
Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter was indicted on a ninth felony charge yesterday. The charge — for misusing her county credit card — comes on top of eight other felony counts for allegedly backdating court documents and stealing from office. In response to the first eight charges, the Ohio Supreme Court disqualified Hunter as she fights the accusations and replaced her with a formerly retired judge, who will be aided by the juvenile court's permanent and visiting judges in addressing Hunter's expansive backlog of cases.

Bill Moller is a city retiree who will be eligible to "double dip" into his pension and a city salary ($147,000 a year) when the city rehires him in February to fill an opening for assistant city manager, city spokesperson Meg Olberding confirmed in an email to CityBeat. Whether he does is entirely up to the interim city manager, Olberding wrote.
The possibility could draw criticism from city officials looking to balance Cincinnati's structurally imbalanced operating budget. Last year, City Council drew opposition for its decision to hire Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick and allow him to double dip on his pension and a city salary.
Update: Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said on Twitter that City Council will discuss the personnel changes at Wednesday's full council meeting, instead of a special session on Thursday as originally planned.
Moller will eventually replace Assistant City Manager David Holmes, who helped oversee efforts for The Banks and 2012 World Choir Games and filed to retire on April 1, Interim City Manager Scott Stiles wrote in a memo to City Council and the mayor.
"At this point in time, Cincinnati needs not only someone who is proficient in all aspects of municipal finance, but in the aspects of the city of Cincinnati's finances in particular. Mr. Moller has that experience," Stiles wrote, noting Moller's budget and finance experience in Cincinnati, Hamilton and Covington.
City Solicitor John Curp will also leave his current position to instead act as chief counsel for the city's two utilities, the Metropolitan Sewer District and Water Works.
"The utility has been undergoing a merger of back office functions to save ratepayers money, and also has been expanding services and service areas to decrease costs," Stiles wrote. "John (Curp) has the private sector experience to assist the utilities with a market-oriented approach, and is uniquely positioned to understand both the particulars of MSD and GCWW as well as the areas in which they can expand."
The move should save ratepayers money by allowing both utilities to rely on Curp instead of outside legal counsel when legal issues arise, according to Stiles.
Although widely praised by city officials, Curp's move is unsurprising given the politics surrounding Mayor John Cranley's election. Curp offered legal guidance for the parking privatization plan and streetcar project, both of which Cranley opposes.
Terrence Nestor, currently the city's chief litigator, will replace Curp as city solicitor until a permanent appointment is made.
Stiles announced other changes as well:
• Markiea Carter, currently a development officer, will move to the city manager's office to act as assistant to the city manager.
• Karen Alder, currently risk manager for the city, will begin assisting Finance Director Reginald Zeno as the city's deputy finance director.
Stiles is currently filling as interim city manager while the city conducts a nationwide search for a permanent replacement to former City Manager Milton Dohoney. Stiles could apply for the permanent role, but his application would need City Council support to win out over other potential candidates.
The city expects the city manager search to last through June, at which point further administrative changes could be expected if the city hires a new permanent city manager.
Despite promising to
move on after he failed to cancel the $132.8 million streetcar
project, Mayor John Cranley continues criticizing the
project in interviews and social media.
Most recently, Cranley appeared on Local 12's Newsmakers program and threatened
to eventually replace the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA)
board, which manages local Metro bus services, in response to board members'
defunct offer to take up streetcar operating costs. (City Council sets SORTA
appointments, not the mayor.)
"The fact is they were
willing to cannibalize bus service," Cranley said,
contrary to SORTA's insistence that their offer would not have affected bus
services. "I just felt that was a huge violation of what SORTA is supposed to
be about and what Metro is supposed to be about and what public transportation
is supposed to be about."
Throughout the 24-minute
interview, Cranley referenced the
streetcar project when discussing the city's parking meters and other subjects
— a continuation of repetitive anti-streetcar tactics Cranley
deployed on the campaign trail and in mayoral debates against former Vice Mayor
Roxanne Qualls.
"I think the project is
wasteful and not worth the investment," Cranley said
when asked about the project. "I think we would have been better off making the
hard decision to cut bait."
Still, Cranley later added, "Obviously, since the supermajority of
council went against my wishes, I have to respect the process. So I'm not going
to try to sabotage the streetcar."
The interview also
follows comments on social media. After the former head of the Cincinnati Art
Museum criticized the streetcar, Cranley tweeted on Dec. 27, "(N)ow some Orwellian commentators
will say art director not 'progressive.'"
The continued anti-streetcar rhetoric comes despite promises to move on that Cranley made after Councilman Kevin Flynn announced he would provide the final vote needed to veto-proof City Council's decision to continue the streetcar project.
"As I tell my son when he doesn't get his way, it's time to move on," Cranley
said on Dec. 19.
But Cranley's
heated rhetoric is nothing new in his campaign against the streetcar project.
After the Nov. 5
election, Cranley told The Cincinnati Enquirer
the streetcar debate "is over." Cranley's comments
marked a high level of confidence after voters elected a mayor and council
supermajority that seemingly opposed the streetcar project, but his statement
to The Enquirer proved to be wrong after Council Members Flynn, David
Mann and P.G. Sittenfeld decided to continue the
Cranley also called city officials "incompetent" after
they projected that canceling the streetcar project would cost nearly as much as
completing it. Once again, Cranley's comments proved
to be wrong — an independent audit found city officials were largely correct in
their assessment — but still showed the level of confident, heated rhetoric
that follows the mayor's campaign against the streetcar project.
At the very least, Cranley's rhetoric proves that while the policy debate over the streetcar is over for now, the public discussion is not. The question is whether the messaging will work as the project moves forward and the streetcar becomes a reality of Cincinnati.
If it were not for Republican-approved cuts to state aid for local governments, Cincinnati might not face an operating budget gap in 2015. The city has lost roughly $26 million in annual state aid since 2010, according to city officials, while the budget gap for 2015 is estimated at nearly $21 million. The reduction in state aid helps explain why Cincinnati continues dealing with budget gaps after years of council-approved spending cuts and tax hikes. Still, some council members argue Democratic council members should stop blaming Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Republican-controlled Ohio legislature for the city's problems and face the reality of reduced revenues.
Heads of the Cincinnati Police Department yesterday explained the local increase in homicides to City Council's Law and Public Safety Committee. Police officials said gang-related activity, particularly activity related to the Mexican drug cartel that controls the heroin trade, is to blame for the spike in crime in Over-the-Rhine, downtown and the west side of Cincinnati. In particular, it appears disruptions in criminal organizations and their territories led to turf wars and other violent acts. Police also cautioned, "Most of the homicides are personal crimes between two known victims. Very rarely are they random in nature."
The Democratic primary election for governor heated up yesterday after Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune called Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald's commitment to blacks "appalling" in an email obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer. Prominent Democrats at the state and local level responded to the criticisms as more evidence Portune shouldn't continue to run and threaten Democrats' chances of a clean gubernatorial campaign. Portune announced his intention to run last week, despite calls from top Democrats to stay out of the race.

Cincinnati might not be facing an operating budget gap in 2015 if it were not for Republican-approved cuts to state aid for local governments.
Following cuts approved by Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Republican-controlled Ohio legislature, Cincinnati officials estimate the city is getting $26 million less in state funding in 2015 than the city did in 2010.
At the same time, the city is facing a $21 million operating budget gap in 2015.
The reduction in state aid helps explain why the local budget gap remains after several years of council-approved spending cuts and tax hikes.
"It sounds like the city is doing a good job," said Democratic Councilman Chris Seelbach at Monday's Budget and Finance Committee meeting. "Where we're seeing these obstacles is these outside sources."
Independent Councilman Christopher Smitherman countered that the cuts to the local government fund and the elimination of the estate tax, both of which drove the reduction in state aid, have been known since 2011 and 2012.
"Public policy makers have, in my opinion, continued to make decisions as if those public policy decisions from the governor's chair or from the state … weren't in play," Smitherman said. "This is not new information."
Republican Councilman Charlie Winburn agreed. He said it's time to stop blaming the governor for the city's problems and face the reality of reduced revenues.
Still, Winburn acknowledged he would be willing to meet with state officials to bring more revenue back to Cincinnati.
"Maybe Republicans will be willing to meet with a Republican like me and see if we can bring some money back to Cincinnati," Winburn said.
Republicans at the state level passed cuts to the local government fund as a way to balance the 2012-2013 budget, which faced a projected gap of nearly $8 billion in 2011. They then approved the elimination of the estate tax — often labeled the "death tax" by opponents — in 2012.
But with Ohio's economy slowly recovering from the Great Recession, the state budget looks to be in much better shape. The 2012-2013 budget ended with a $2 billion surplus because of higher-than-expected revenues.
Ohio Democrats point to the surplus as evidence the Republican-controlled state government could undo the $1 billion in cuts to local government funding. They argue the cuts have hurt local governments and forced cities to slash basic services, including public safety.

AUSTIN -- "David was stolen from us, and we're never going to get him back," said his friend Bradley Barmer.
That was the reaction from friends Thursday after Austin police announced they arrested a suspect in the murder of David Villarreal at the 360 Condominiums.
On the night of July 12, 36-year-old Villarreal brought a man he had met at Rain, a downtown bar, back to his condo at 3rd and Nueces.
Once inside, police say 26-year-old Matthew Bacon murdered Villarreal with a knife and a hammer.
"I felt sick that someone would do that to another human being and take someone as good as David for as little as they took," Barmer said.
Police say surveillance cameras captured Bacon leaving the condo, then returning with a car.
They say he stole Villarreal's iPod, iPhone, Xbox and Kindle, and then left with them in a suitcase.
According to the arrest warrant, Bacon sold those items at a Belton hotel and booked a room with Villarreal's credit card.
That's how detectives tracked him down and found Bacon already in a Louisiana jail for drug charges.
Police say Bacon confessed to the murder, and Villarreal's father says it's the closure they needed.
"We're Christians, and we believe in forgiveness. We forgive, but there's laws in the country, and he broke the laws in this country, and he has to pay for that," said Ruben Villarreal.
His friends say knowing what happened, however, makes the crime that much more painful.
"David was such a generous person. He had no attachment to his stuff; he would have given it to you. There's just not a lot to take away from a senseless crime like this," said Barmer.
Austin detectives say Bacon also confessed that the knife and hammer he used to kill Villarreal were still in his car.
Bacon remains in the West Monroe, Louisiana jail. His bond for the murder charge is set at $500,000.

I recently had the honor of moderating a panel at the Outstanding Directors' Exchange Program in New York City this early October. ODX is a leading forum for the sharing of insights and ideas among directors; it is also a partner with Columbia Business School's Executive Education program. On my panel were David Nadler, a former Columbia Business School professor and who is now a vice chairman at Marsh & McLennan, a global professional services firm, and Ron Rittenmeyer, former chairman, president and CEO (retired) of EDS and a current director at R. H. Donnelley. They made some observations that I found very compelling:
David Nadler suggested that one key thing boards need is input into strategic decisions when there are still choices to be made, rather than simply being asked to vet decisions that management has already come to a conclusion about. We need, he suggests, to get away from a "review and concurrence" process and instead adopt one in which a board can make meaningful choices. The second key issue that boards need to be engaged on has to do with the question of risk — often the most significant risks don't show up in the spreadsheets and presentations shown to the boards. What is needed, instead, are candid conversations about what happens if the unexpected happens or if the strategy goes wrong.
Ron Rittenmeyer noted that it is important to support innovation, but that the board needs to take into account what the company has to work with. "You have to innovate from where you are," he said. That has powerful implications for understanding the three pillars of strategic execution: talent, technology and financial considerations. Rittenmeyer said he believes it is crucial that the board probe deeply into whether the company can actually execute against the strategy, no matter great the plan sounds.
For my part, I suggested that one of the big shifts in the world of strategy today is not necessarily reflected in board-level conversations. We still proceed as though there is a thing called a "sustainable-competitive advantage" in many industries. In reality, advantages in many segments are increasingly transient — what we have are cases of developing insight, launching initiatives, exploiting an advantage and then exiting. So boards need to be having candid conversations about this entire cycle, asking such questions as: What is our process for finding new advantages? How long will they last? What is our approach to exiting and freeing up resources when there are no longer benefits to be gained?
In such environments, I also proposed that boards can completely kill effective innovations by insisting on the wrong metrics — such as worrying about the rate of failure. I've long said that the rate doesn't matter if the costs are low. Imposing those requirements will guarantee risk aversion among the staff.

Orthotics are used for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis is caused when the ligament (Plantar Fascia) is irritated and inflamed. The inflammation and irritation can cause heel pain. Wearing orthotics or supportive insoles is a great way to help reduce the pain and help the healing process. They are most effective because they contract as you walk or run, providing the appropriate amount of support for the heel of the foot as your weight moves and shifts without interfering with the fit of your shoe.
Don't know what orthotics are? These are basically inserts for your shoe. Here are a few Orthotic related recommendations for those with plantar fasciitis:
1. Plantar Fasciitis Night Splints — you wear these at night to prevent damage to the plantar as you sleep. Helps prevent that spiking heel pain first thing in the morning
2. Plantar Fasciitis Shoe inserts (we recommend the Powerstep Pinnacle Orthotic Insert which is the best reviewed online) — these fit in your shoe to provide more support and comfort
3. Plantar Fasciitis Shoes — special shoes that help provide maximum arch and heel support for your foot (we recommend New Balance Running shoes as the best reviewed for plantar fasciitis problems)
Some people who suffer from Plantar Fasciitis purchase a padded shoe insert from their local drug store to relieve the pain. The issue is that it is merely a padded insert that provides extra padding and nothing more. These tend to do little for the pain and give little relief.
Cushioning alone is does not give enough support the damaged heel and does not support the aflicted ligament which is necessary to help reduce swelling and damage to the tissue. There is also no support given to the arch of the foot, and does not help reduce strain on the ligament.
Orthotics help to correct the misalignment in your foot, reducing pain and can also solve posture problems that have led to the plantar facsiiitis in the beginning. It will also give support to the ligament and reduce pain.
People who wear Orthotics report that when wearing them, they notice their feet feel much better. That standing for long periods of time, walking, or running is less painful. Their feet are more supple and their posture much more improved.
Orthotics for plantar fasciitis or insoles are a good cost effective treatment compared to buying specialty shoes which can be quite costly. The insoles can be used in multiple pairs of shoes just by removing them and placing them in another pair. Which allows you wear your existing shoes while getting the support you need.
There are many other remedies that you may use but the orthotics are more effective in usefulness (you can buy the recommended plantar fasciitis treatment program for a full program on how to cure the problem from start to finish). They are also a simple way to relieve your pain and easier to go about daily life.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Head Coach Cristy Freese and the Central Michigan field hockey program has announced seniors Skylar VanNatta, Ellen Riley and Simone Lazar as the team captains for the 2013 season.
Lazar is a two-time All-Mid-American Conference First Team selection and was named to the Longstreth/NFHCA Second-Team All-West Region last season. She has also been named to the MAC All-Tournament Team twice in her career.
VanNatta is coming off a breakout junior campaign in which she was named to the All-MAC First Team after starting all 18 contests in the midfield. She has made 52 career starts and has been a key player on a defense that posted two shutouts last season.
Riley will look to step into a new role in 2013 after appearing in 36 matches through her first three seasons. The Louisville, Ky., scored her first career goal last season in a 2-1 win over Pacific and has dished out three assists in her career as a important role player off the Chippewas' bench.
The Chippewas will open the 2013 campaign this Friday at the CMU Field Hockey Complex versus Robert Morris. The match is set for 2 p.m.

OK, helping my Dad out with an issue he had. He's got an old bootrom 3GS that was at 3.1.2. We did a backup, etc., and upgraded to 4.1, then used greenpois0n to jailbreak. Had no issues with the jailbreak, Cydia installed, let it do its updates, etc. Problem now is that WiFi doesn't resume after sleep -- if the phone is unlocked (e.g., slide to unlock), WiFi shows as connected, but it will not route traffic until it is toggled from either SBSettings or Settings.app. I removed SBSettings and reinstalled just in case that was the issue, but that didn't resolve the problem. I'm having him test other networks to make sure it's not something specific with his network at home, but I expect the behavior will follow him wherever he goes. He was not having this issue prior to the 4.1 / greenpois0n upgrade. He was jailbroken on 3.1.2 with blackra1n (not Pwnage, unfortunately), if that has any impact.
In this case, I'm guessing the best next step would be to manually back up the SMS + Call History databases + other data he wants to keep, do a sync to ensure his contacts / etc., are backed up and that all Application data has been saved, wipe all content and settings from the iPhone, restore to 4.1, greenpois0n, set up as a new iPhone, then copy the databases back after jailbreak. That said, I'd really, really prefer not to have to do that -- if it's the only solution, I'll definitely give it a go, but I'm hoping there may be something quicker and easier that someone may have noticed.
Anyone having similar issues and come up with a fix?
Thanks in advance!

Baby Bjorn Toilet Seat Adaptor
" I had a chance to use this seat while on vacation. It is comfortable and my son had no issues transitioning from his usual potty to 'going' on this one. No complaints. There is a built in pee guard so no spraying to worry about. The handle makes it easy to take off and on as well as hang up when not in use. It is also easy to wipe clean and even give a quick was in the shower. " --tubbytelly
BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair, Blue
" This is a great potty - bought this for DD to use at home. We had the smaller all in 1 potties at the sitter's and in the car. This one worked well for home. Great non-skid base - helped DD to feel secure when sitting down herself. Nice high back...my DD likes to lounge and read books (Everyone Poops) while on the potty - so this gave good support. The rise in the front helps when DD lounging..." --kbvr
BABYBJÖRN Little Potty - White
" I bought this potty to keep in our van to use on the go. I love it's small size and how easy it is for my tiny toddler to sit on. The one piece design is nice as well and you don't have to take it apart to clean it if not all the potty makes it into the bowl. It is a little bit of a pain to dump out though, especially for poop. " --CrunchyChristianMama
Oilily Diaper Bag - Graphic Flower series
" I love Oilily bags so knew I had to get a diaper bag from them. This is from their current (2010) collection called Graphic Flower, and it comes in Petrol (blue) and red. What I love about this bag is it's size: it's huge! Big enough to fit toys, snacks, bottles, extra clothes, burp cloths, and even a little blanket....and of course has extra pockets inside for dipes and wipes. The two..." --P.J.

I uploaded my first test model, and realised it would take 10 minutes just to check a simple model! What! Sometimes, I just don't have that sort of time.
I was wondering if anyone had managed to create an offline model checker for shapeways, so we can do it on our computers instead of their very busy servers. Or why can't Shapeways just port their algorithm onto the desktop?
Or am I being stupid and selfish?
Anyway, your opinion...

Women with great bodies have a dirty little secret. Sure, they work out and eat well—but they also sneakily burn hundreds more calories than everyone else. From the outside, they don't seem to be doing anything particularly strenuous. "You wouldn't believe how many straightforward ways there are to burn calories," says Lauren Slayton, director of foodtrainers.net. "But it's easy to miss the opportunities if you're not looking for them." Research has shown that swapping sedentary habits, such as watching television, for pretty much anything that doesn't involve sitting down can make a world of difference. "Most people don't realize that a little extra effort can yield great results," says Steven Wheelock, a trainer at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts. The experts we consulted explain how to take every opportunity to flex your muscles, boost your heart rate, and eat foods that yield maximum fullness for minimal calories. Just don't tell anyone.
1: Take Vitamin D.
Women who were deficient in it lost weight more slowly in a study in the British Journal of Nutrition. Stephen Gullo, a weight-loss expert in New York City and author of The Thin Commandments (Rodale), recommends 2,000 milligrams daily.
2: Drink Coffee.
Studies have found that caffeine increases the rate at which you burn calories, according to Susan B. Roberts, author of The "I" Diet (Workman) and a professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University in Boston.
3: Sleep More.
Getting fewer than four hours of sleep over an extended period of time slows the metabolism. Experts recommend aiming for between seven and nine.
4: Do Things by Hand.
Wash your dishes, vacuum, or cook dinner. "We consider it a luxury to have tasks done for us, but doing some of these for yourself takes considerable energy," says Slayton.
5: Wear a basic pedometer.
"Every week, aim to take a few more steps than you did the last week," says Wheelock.
6: Eat lightly and often.
"For most people, the body uses up more energy digesting smaller meals every few hours than by eating the same number of calories in two or three sittings," says Chrissy Wellington, a nutritionist at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts.
7: Move briskly.
"Walk like you're late for a meeting," says Gunnar Peterson, who trains Jennifer Lopez in Los Angeles.
8: Laugh.
"It burns up to 50 calories if you laugh for 10 to 15 minutes per day," says Adelino Da Costa, owner of Punch Fitness Center in New York City.
9: Eat breakfast.
"You send your body a signal that you're not starving, so it starts burning fat—even when you're just doing normal activities," says Peterson. He suggests eating scrambled egg whites or oatmeal with fruit.
10: Time yourself.
Spend the last five minutes of each hour (set your computer timer) up and moving around, says Kristin McGee, a New York City yoga and Pilates instructor.

she's cute.
2. Made great progress with my blog redesign. You'll see some changes here soon! It will be easier to navigate and find information.
3. Guest-Posted on I {Heart} Nap Time's blog! Check it out here.
4. Planning a sister photo shoot this evening with Jacques, the wireless shutter release. Should be interesting. I'm sure there will be tons of laughter. Hopefully not as much wind as last time.
5. Moving! Justin and I are moving, locally, to another town home closer to his job! It's beautiful and clean and the walls aren't beige. And the kitchen is HUGE. Not really, but it is pretty big. But anything is bigger than my corner kitchen now. And I'll have a HUGE laundry room. Not really, but I'll actually be able to stand in it. And the master bathroom is HUGE. Not really, but it's going to be a much, much prettier background for my hair tutorials.
I'm really excited about moving. It's an upgrade for sure.
My sister is also moving! Have I told you she lives in my neighborhood? Just down the street. ::cue the "awwwww"::
She's moving into a beautiful apartment about 2 minutes from Justin and my new place. I'm so glad we are able to still live close to each other. She's pretty cool.
This week I've also decided to include my LOW five for friday.
1. cleaning.my.house. I am not excited about this. Somehow I have acquired so much crap over the years we have lived here. And although I did my closet makeover and I'm thrilled I'm not moving an extra 7 bags of clothes, there is still a lot of stuff.
2. Figuring out what to donate vs. sell, and what to keep. Justin and I haven't really bought major furniture together yet. We had everything we needed before we were married since we both lived on our own, seperately. My parents gave us their old pine furniture for our bedroom since they were redecorating, and after a few coats of paint, it looked brand new. And I love it. And we're grateful it was free.
So it has come time that we buy another couch, since our current couches are huge and won't fit in the new living room.
3. packing.
4. packing.
5. moving day.
Hope you have a great weekend!

You Can Keep Your Premium Guaranteed Impressions. I'll Take the Remnants.
<< by Tad Miller on November 14th, 2013
No one could ever call me a great "brand builder" with regard to the online advertising we do for our clients. As an agency, we aren't really about building brand awareness or getting eye balls on a banner ad as the measurement of our success for clients. Our goal is to get results from the advertising, whether that's a sale, a form completion or some other Key Performance Indicator. If brand building happens as a secondary benefit to that advertising, then all the better – but the result has always been what we have focused on.

(Suitable from Birth)
Order today for Monday delivery
The Jahgoo Bath Support is a very comfortable bath seat.
Your baby feels like sitting in a sporty seat enjoying it's bath time.
The bath support provides optimal support for your baby from birth to 6 months.
Its round aesthetic shapes make the bath support very hygienic and easy to clean.
The bath support is exceptionally stable because of its ergonomic design and 4 suction cups. It can be placed inside an adult bath, shower or tub.
Very useful, my baby is only 3 weeks old and this product has helped me immensely in giving her a bath without the fear of dropping her or hurting her. Much more pleasant experience for both of us during bath time!
This made bathtime fun and easy for me and my baby. I could play and interact with my baby and not worry as she is totally safe. We love this bath support and would highly recommend it!
Good item. does what it is designed to. Keeps the baby well locked in but does not really allow him to move around or wave his legs. scared his boy bits are getting squished. a bit too wide for a mothercare baby tub. Too difficult to use in a full size tub mainly because two people cant work side by side. but all said and done - good price for the item. with shipping - no difference between the mothercare version and this.
Excellent product, can't wait to use this for my little boy when he arrives. Will be a safe way to give him a bath. Bought in the sale so excellent value!
I bought the Jahgoo bath support for my daughter to use when bathing 8 week old grandson. She can now easily bath baby on her own if necessary - no slippery baby to juggle, and has delighted in baby enjoying himself in the bath whilst held safe and sound in the bath support. The price is excellent, the bath itself is easily transported on family visits. We are both thrilled with this purchase!

We strive to reduce emissions & petroleum dependence by being more energy efficient.
- We reduced energy use at our global facilities 28% on a per-vehicle-produced basis between 2005 and 2010 and 7% from 2010 to 2012.
- We received a 2013 EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence award..
- We house 37 MW of solar energy at seven facilities.
- Our Zaragoza, Spain facility was the world's largest industrial rooftop solar installation until 2012.
- We are one of the largest industrial users of landfill gas in the United States.
- We reduced CO2 emissions by 28% between 2005 and 2010 and 5.3% from 2010 to 2012.
- Chevrolet is investing up to $40 million in carbon-reduction projects across America.
Reducing Energy Use
Being smart about our energy use is great for the environment and saves us money. For example, lighting upgrades and other efficiency projects save us $2.5M per year at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly—home of the Chevrolet Volt.
By using energy-efficient lighting, tracking hourly consumption, upgrading to more efficient heating and cooling systems, and shutting down equipment when it's not used, we reduced energy use at our global facilities 28% on a per-vehicle-produced basis between 2005 and 2010. These savings reduced greenhouse gas emissions by about 3.34 million metric tons during that timeframe. From 2010 to 2012, we reduced it another 7%.
And our efforts are getting recognized:
- We have eight ENERGY STAR®certified facilities. These buildings perform in the top 25thpercentile of similar facilities nationwide in terms of energy efficiency.
- We received an EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence award, the organization's highest level of recognition for corporate energy management.
- We met EPA's ENERGY STAR® Challenge for Industry at 63 plants worldwide. Their efforts saved $162M and avoided greenhouse gases equivalent to powering 244,000 U.S. homes.
We also strive to build and renovate in an environmentally responsible way. We have facilities with gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program: Lansing Delta Township Assembly in Lansing, Mich., our GM Shanghai campus, and our Enterprise Data Center in Warren, Mich. When it first opened, the Lansing Delta Township building was the largest industrial project to receive LEED certification. When constructing a new facility or upgrading existing ones, we follow LEED green design and construction practices regardless of whether we apply for certification.
Renewable Energy
We believe in harnessing power from the sun, water and landfill gases, and are one of the leading users of renewable energy in the manufacturing sector. In fact, the Solar Energy Industries Association named us a Solar Champion for our impact on helping to establish a strong solar industry in the United States. We host two of the five largest rooftop solar arrays in the world and we're among the top 25 commercial solar users in the U.S.
Our goal is to promote the use of 125 megawatts of renewable energy by 2020 and we're already halfway there. Half of our electricity at our California distribution center is powered by the sun; it was the first U.S. public solar project over 1 megawatt when it began operating in 2006. And, nine of our facilities feature solar charging canopies on their grounds.
We're also one of the largest industrial users of landfill gas in the United States. Three of our manufacturing facilities use it as an energy source, generating $3.5 million in savings in 2011. Additionally, our GM do Brazil manufacturing facilities use 15MW of biomass-generated-electricity from sugar cane.
Reducing Emissions
As a result of our energy-efficiency initiatives, our global facilities achieved a 28% reduction in CO2 emissions on a per-vehicle-produced basis between 2005 and 2010. We reduced it another 5.3% from 2010 to 2012.
To supplement traditional efficiency initiatives, Chevrolet is investing up to $40 million in various carbon-reduction projects throughout America with a goal to reduce up to 8 million metric tons of CO2 emissions over the next five years. We estimate our carbon-reduction goal equates to the emissions released in 2011 from driving the 1.9 million vehicles Chevrolet sold in the United States between November 18, 2010 and December 31, 2011.
